Our VP, Marketing Kate set this one up with the Lord after working with him back in the 90's. My mother instructed me to wear a suit. So I did. Lord Robertson was Secretary- General of NATO during the end of the Clinton Administration and for the first term of the Bush Administration. Over crumpets and tea we were regaled with stories from both administrations. Quite extraordinary times.
In a bizarre twist, it turns out my wee cousin Katie is married to his dear friend's son up on the Island of Iona in Scotland. A very small world indeed.
The building itself is amazing. We toured the Robing Room where the Queen gets kitted up each year before opening Parliament. Today was a tough day in the House as the Government passed the most aggressive budget cuts for many many years - up to 30% for some Departments.
The Lord helped us connect the visit to gNappies. He is due to become a Grandfather any day so will need product!
